Newly acquired Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez is already adjusting to New York, claiming that his new team will win the NL East.

"Of course, we're going to try to win the division. Of course, we're going to be the front-runner. Of course, we're going to be the team to beat," Rodriguez said Saturday.

His claim comes just four days after agreeing to a $37 million, three-year contract with the Mets.

"I don't want there to be a controversy or the other ballclubs in that division to take it personally or take it in a bad way," Rodriguez said. "If they ask me, 'Oh, which ballclub is going to win the National League East?' It's going to be the Mets. Easy question."
